I am indeed! Mate has a great collection! It's amazing how much the colour and fabric is different, I wish companies could get their act together. A lot of the guys who do First World War have post Second World War puttees that been sewn together to create long puttees because of how difficult long puttees have become to obtain.

Reenacting wise, it's quite prevalent and on a slight increase, here in the Unites States anyway. Not matter what people reenact primarily, those who have secondary impressions, many have WWI. I wonder if WWII will have the same draw in twenty years time.

Hello there mr Nice video of yours. My granddad was a hong kong veteran of the Royal Rifles of Canada. Unfortunatelly I dont have his post war uniform only his medals. For honoring him and his fellow C force members im making a sort of shrine with an post war original canadian battledress in my livingroom. The only item missing to complete it are these HK patches . Would you help me with this problem that would be really nice. Do you think the one you have in your video would be the same size as the originals awarded to the survivors of HK ? How about the material i couldnt see the details in your video. Id be thankfull for your help

Hi there! The one in my video is based off the originals and is a faithful reproduction. If you reach out to me on the Instagram or FB I can hopefully point you in the right direction to one.
